No one ever mentions Charlotte's Web

I noticed James posting the top 10 evil children book and people responding, but why hasn't anyone pointed to good children books.   I just remembered one with a moderately good movie to boot:   Charlotte's Web   It's my favorite, I admit, because I felt really bad for Wilbur *(Strangely enough, I am not a big pork eater, I prefer steak). I like the idea of the entire story and there was a romantic cross species relationship under-toned throughout the story between Wilbur and Charlotte. It

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo   A lot has changed. I realize full well that I have borderline personality disorder, but there has been another drastic identity change.   My mother and I had a talk after my last nice big nervous breakdown involving drugs, alcohol, bad grades, failed relationships, and general ennui regarding life, and she told me that I try to har

Pink Mafia

So here is an interesting exchange that happened between one of my co-workers and I this afternoon. He was a little apprehensive, apparently he had made plans with another coworker--We'll Call him Coworker #2--to go to the gym and workout. It didnt work out too well and he ended up standing up COwroker #2, so he was scared that #2 was going to be all made and cause some friction in the work place.   Well coworker #1 had some issues with his phone and by the time he got them resolved there wer

A little about me and where i stand

After arguing with Both Tiger and Graeme on the pedophile thread, then Mark Arbor, dkstories, and Xeran on the Torture thread, I realize something about myself:   I am an ethical man, who doesn't believe in absolute laws or the attitudes of society.   What's ethics?   Main Entry:eth

Mental Block!

Well, chapter 2 is in the final stages of editing, but have had a mind freeze half way through the third chapter! Really frustrating, because I have all these thoughts and ideas, but for some reason, I just don't seem to be able to put them on paper as it were. It's driving me totally crazy! lol I mean, I have the outline, so I know what's going to happen, but the physical act of putting them into coherent sentences seems to be eluding me. Think I'll step back from it for a day, and then have

I know the pieces fit....

because I watched them fall apart.     Two of my closest friends are breaking up. They were two of the first people I met when I moved to Houston and they were a brand new couple at the time. We were so close because I was their friend. I didn't belong to either one. I had an individual relationship with both, and the three of us had a great dynamic. It was nice, it was...equal. I didn't realize it would make a break up harder. I mean if I was primarily one of them's friend, it would b

Columbine Through the Eyes of 13-Year Old Me.

I thought in honor of the anniversary of Columbine, I'd post this. I wrote it when I was 13.   ****   Tuesay, April 20, 1999   There has been another school shooting. Again! The 1998-1999 school year has gone by without a fatal shooting! Until now!   This time the high school was Columbine High School The unfortunate town with a lowered population this time is Littletown, Colorado. The fatality is as much as 25 people.   A school gang that had racist and anti-athlete views has at least

All or nothing...

I don't understand it. I guess it isn't something that can be understood, because in order to understand, an uncomfortable conversation would have to take place. Questions would have to be asked... questions that in all likelihood have no answers.   So, in turn, we accept silence. Silence is easier...   Well, silence sucks; the void created is only filled with self doubt.   I thought I was over this years ago. I thought the whole angsty part of my life was far removed from the routine of

Not sure if this can be called a poem

I was addressing a point made on my prior blog entry from Old bob and somehow I broke into a poetic verse. The nature of conflict:   To ignore conflict is a human reaction to seeing too much in their lifetime.   To accept conflict as a burden needed for the future of mankind is to have hope   Well that is divine   Peace will not occur in your time   Peace will not occur in my time   It comes to whether we are ready to fight for this concept, we call peace   Knowing it may fail

An update

So, I've been busy between my new job and school lately, and organising my thoughts on Sunny's Angel. I've temporarily placed SA on hold for awhile I think until I become way more organised with it, but in the mean time I'm in the process of gathering my thoughts and such for a new story that I'm probably going to write. After writing the outline vs. No Outline post and seeing other individuals thoughts and such on it, I've decided to try my hand out with a new approach on writing stories. As su

The world is sad, but we must fight on

This might be my shortest entry, but I just feel like saying it.   The world is sad. You hear far too many tragedies created by human beings.   There are far too many injustices in this world and far too many false beliefs that must be fought. Yet, how can we struggle against such a sad world.   I am going to place here, President Kennedy's Inaugural address on why we must continue to fight:

b to the log, SOS, and also, I miss you...

I had to return my car to the dealer today... our lease was up and since Rich isn' t working, they wouldn't finance us to buy it. In turn, we got a new (to us) car, a HUGE car payment each month, and completely screwed over with a 23.5% interest rate... awesome.   I read this today and was pleased to see something that wasn't about their hair styles, or some gay/emo bullshit, in case anyone's interested.

Eurotophobia (Fear of Vaginas)

Okay, I didn't think this particular topic was appropriate for the forums, so I decided to use my blog instead. Okay, I totally don't get it. Vaginas don't do much for me, but I am not in fear of them, nor am I repulsed by them. I personally think this fear is irrational even for gay men. I mean, it's just a vagina. It's not going to hurt you. So you don't want to stick your dick in one. I could live without doing so myself, but why should anyone be afraid of them?   By extension, there is ye

Haunting me

Every time I blog it seems to be a plug for my stories; Damn! I don't like to blog like this, but this one is scaring me.   Well, let's see, talking about my new story, which is haunting me. I can actually see it happening and unraveling in my mind so clearly that it gives me the creeps. It's like sympathy, horror, and an inner sense of satisfaction, when I re-read what I wrote and posted. There's something in that story that makes me feel like I really constructed my own world; a tragedy comp

On Leaving an online site....

I've been involved in lots of online sites, anything from this one to my Yahoo group. There have been times in the past when I've felt the need to move on, either permanently or temporarily, for various reasons. Sometimes someone pisses me off, sometimes I simply grow tired of the group or bored with the posts. In fact, there was a period of time when I took a sabbatical from this site. Why? It falls into the "someone pisses me off" category and revolved primarily around someone who's name

I know, I know ... I'm horrible

Yes, I know I've been horrible about keeping in touch lately. Things have been crazy at work, and I'm in the process of buying my first house, which is a lot more involved than I'd expected. But, home prices and mortgage rates are low, plus that $8,000 new homebuyer tax credit ... so, now is a good time to do it. I've put in an offer on a place about an hour from work. It's kind of far, and a little bit out in the sticks (a nice, newer development, though). It's a short-sale, which means about 2

What to write? That is the question

OK guys (he says, using the asexual version of the word "guys"), I'm having a dilemma. I'm writing two stories now, "A Summer Love," and "The Gunroom." My original intent was to write them in tandem, to try to publish alternating chapters of each. That's not working for me, primarily because I need to write where my muse takes me.   I've been enjoying "The Gunroom" lately, and have done more work on it than ASL. I decided that I'm going to go with it, which means I'll probably publish mo

Fighting over politics

Well, yesterday I got into a fight over the phone with a friend of mine over politics. She's vehemently Republican. I can respect that. However, I criticized the Bush administration and talked about the video I linked in the Gay Left Forum. I tried to tell her that NO president should have the type of power that the Patriot Act yielded. Quite frankly, the thought of a mad man with the power to have people arrested just by calling them traitors is quite frankly unacceptable. That is so similar to
